My good friend Chey reminded me of a great English band: Wrathchild U.K.

This band is over-the-top glam. I mean, just look at the hair! The band formed in (or around) 1980 in Evesham, England. According to Wikipedia, the band was one of the first to grab hold of the Glam genre. The same Wiki article takes a small jab at Motley Crue. Of course that didn't necessarily go over well with me, but I always keep an open mind. I will also admit there are amazing similarities between the "Stakk Attak" video and the Motley clip for "Live Wire."

The band released three albums:

Stakk AttakThe Biz SuxxDelirium

It would be cool to see a Wrathchild U.K. reunion. I'm not sure we'll ever see that happen, though.

Here's Wrathchild U.K. performing "Stakk Attak."

For comparison sake, here's Motley Crue performing "Live Wire."

So, who made who?

Actually, they're still around. Three out of the original four are still together but the band name has been changed to Psychowrath. They're on myspace at www.myspace.com/psychowrathofficial. I saw them play last December at my local rock club and they were pretty cool. Matt Blackout from Tigertailz and Iggie from Gypsy Pistoleros were in the audience for that one too. There are some pictures on my page at www.myspace.com/cinnamonmarine.

They totally took a jab at Motley on their Wiki site. (And let me preface this with...I am a HUGE Motley Crue fan...But I kinda don't blame them!)Not only are the videos similar...but some of the guitar parts are very similar too. Hmmmm...weird.

I guess if only America could have had a good look at Wrathchild instead of England drooling over The Crue - things might have worked out differently - in this country we always take home grown talent for granted - Wrathchild - and now Psychowrath - are still the kings in my world.

yeh Trash Queens was a rare collection of live outtakes and demo's - cool cover though! For the record Marc Angel and Eddie Star are somehow still alive and rocking it up as one half of PSYCHOWRATH with new guitarist and singer. They can be heard on www.myspace.com/psychowrathofficial - recommended cos the new tunes are awesome.

This email has been sent from Japan.Translation : http://translate.google.co.jp/translate_t#http://www.epals.com/translation/translation.eU.S.A. did only war and continued exterminating the fish and made the world poverty. The world must retaliate against U.S.A. Because the whale loses to the speed of the adult fish, the whale eats only child fishs. When the child of all fish appears from eggs, the child fishs rise to the surface of the sea for demands security. Whales are always on the surface of the sea to eat a child fish. Even if the whale eats all small fish, the whale is hungry. The whales exterminate the fishs.

U.S.A. did war to steal an oil base. Bcause, can prevent terrorism / the abduction crime by an electric wave. There is Afghanistan in preparation for the Iraqi War. The attack electric wave angered Hussein by an electric wave for many years and planned. An American company owns the oil base now. The gas price is lower than the present half without Iraqi / Arab War. U.S.A. nominated oil prices for several times and made the world big recession. The oil prices are still more than double. It became decisive to steal money from the world with oil in the future till U.S.A. disappeared from the earth. If U.S.A. fights against one country, the world country must fight against U.S.A. That, in the world, only one's country should be good; do not be out of order. The world fights against U.S.A. and must retaliate for U.S.A. British / Germany must not become the American slave country.

(Does not occur thanks to the U.S. war in Japan is not at all.) Japan, in 1945 invented the world's first wave attack years later. Even if war occurred, even if the Japanese people sleep wins. All I can blow up other radio station to broadcast foreign missile silo launch, or to destroy a missile in flight form skill skill alone. In fact, before it can attack it before it. Politicians like the president does not cause war, and thoroughly Totchime 口説Keru disease in the waves. To proceed, "Japan is not war." And she insisted to the world from war does not occur.

The American nucleus disposal declaration is my stratagem to escape from this activity. It is the plan that U.S.A. deceives the world from this thing. The world radio weapon blows up a nuclear bomb in a nucleus cabinet. U.S.A. is to escape from this thing. U.S.A. destroyed a fish and a company from the world and made the world poverty. It is the stratagem that U.S.A. escapes from this thing. U.S.A. declares the nucleus disposal and reminds the world with a good country. This thing thinks that U.S.A. can deceive cruel attack to the conventional world that U.S.A. did. Send U.S.A. out of Japan early. If the world does so it, the world becomes rich. An electric wave attacked the world in a secret, and U.S.A. made the world poverty. Though the world collapses in U.S.A., it is disuse with a weapon. The world do not buy an American product! You will let this cooperate with the world with an email / fax / news. Though the world collapses in U.S.A., the world is disuse with a weapon.

U.S.A. generated the world University recession. For the purpose of U.S.A. taking an oil base; of the plan fought. An American company owns the oil base now. U.S.A. raised it by gas price, and U.S.A. generated world University recession. U.S.A. throw a foreign oil base up! If there is not the premeditated Iraqi War to anger in a radio weapon if it does not occur, the gas price is half. Because the American company where the salary is high owns the gasoline, the price is high.

Get back an oil base from the American company! If U.S.A. does not put back the oil base that U.S.A. got by robbery, the world must fight against U.S.A.

Your country is the cruel bad person country which served childrens of the sea fishs to whales. Japan killed whales from old days and protected Asian fishs. The sea is a thing of the fishs which can live with plankton. The human being kills the whales of the eater for making a roundup arrest with childs of fish, and protect fishs!

U.S.A. only do the robbery war /thief the invention of foreign country / fraud / blackmail with the electric wave after it was taught electric wave technology by Japan. The best Japanese technology that grew up with the mineral of the sea has been transmitted to the minimum racial U.S.A. on the earth which did not eat a fish.

The fish is rich in the mineral of the sea and grinds a human brain excellently. The human being who does not eat a fish becomes physically weak with age. And, in disfavor with work, become the robbery nature and want to fight. Because the Olympics are the young generations, physical strength / the brain is the same even if eat anything when young. World advanced age is a Japanese by the Olympics. Because the Japanese eats a fish, work power / brain is the best to advanced age. The figure of the foreigner who does not eat a fish gets fat. You become sickly without it being supported a body when the foreigner becomes the cuttlefishs advanced age which are the nourishment of the mineral of the sea even if thin. The Japanese sumo is strong in the mineral nourishment of the sea. You understand it if you walk the foreign town. you get fat and look quite sickly. Because senior citizen commands the armed forces, it wants to fight. The health of the senior citizen who does not eat fishs is out of order for robbery nature. The whales and the dolphins exterminate the fishs and generate wars and crimes on the earth. Because I wrote it in this way, does a foreign country do a crime to send world's best age on by the Olympics from now on. U.S.A. only do the robbery war /thief the invention of foreign country / fraud / blackmail with the electric wave after it was taught electric wave technology by Japan. The best Japanese technology that grew up with the mineral of the sea has been transmitted to the minimum racial U.S.A. on the earth which did not eat a fish.

U.S.A. does not have the qualification with Japan as the territory. U.S.A. must leave Japan. Japan lost in an American nucleus and became the territory. Thereafter, Japan taught Japanese attack electric wave invention to U.S.A. Because the attack electric wave can blow up a nucleus hangar, the electric wave is much stronger than a nucleus. That means, U.S.A. does not have the right with Japan as the territory.Japan is possible for a fire / blow up American base / launching pad / airplane / ship / all by an electric wave . At the time of issue of rice liberalization, American big business seems to have done an inferno in succession. Even if there are not the Japanese armed forces, Japan easily beats U.S.A. by a satellite electric wave.

Japan can kill a whale by an electric wave. Because you still sell a lot of fish in a Japanese total shop, do not you understand it? In the sea of your country, the fish is eaten by a whale and is not popular in a shop. There are few fish of the sea of your country. The whale of the Japanese sea kills it by an electric wave, and there are many fish. Japan can guide a whale by an electric wave. In addition, Japan can collect whales in one place by an electric wave. The fish of your sea do not increase unless your country whales early and lifts the ban. If need it;, in the country of you who make a ban on the hunting of whales, is crassitude. Because the fish of your country was already considered to be a whale just before the extinction, at first, kill a dolphin of the bad-smelling bad meat which is not delicious. The fish of your country increase if I do so it. Even if the dolphin eats a lot of delicious fish, the meat of the dolphin is bad. The dolphin is a whale. More than 4m are called a whale. Less than 4m are called a dolphin. The sea of your country has few fish. Therefore the whale does not grow. The whale cannot bear a child. The whale merely passes by. If a fish is few it, whales become little|few. And the whales of the big body become extinct. The world protects a fish from a whale and must increase fish now. Because the electric wave is invisible, all the electric waves become a secret. It is the bait of the fish without floating if the electric wave guide the whales to the deep bottom of the sea by an electric wave and murder the whales. The Japan government recognizes the numerical whale which does not destroy the food of the nation so that it is recognized in the world. The destruction of entertainment such as the fishing accepts it with a whale.You do not be deceived to U.S.A. which become rich and make the world poverty at exterminate the fish by whales and dolphins. U.S.A. exterminated the delicious fish to be able to eat directly which I did not use fire for by a whale and made the earth warming. U.S.A. let you cook meat with fire, and the world kitchen produced CO2.

Because the meat of small whale and dolphin are bad, Japan use the electric wave in the bottom of the sea and murder whale and the dolphin, and throwing it away has value. The delicious large size whales at the South Pole and coaxes the world in conspiracy with U.S.A. and does Japan and the United States conspiracy strategy to threaten the world. If Japan and the United States fight about South Pole whaling, the world that was afraid of does not whale. And the world fish become extinct, and it is a plan to be possible in poverty in the world.

If Japan invents it, U.S.A. does only war with it. Japan do not invent to let American fight. Japan invented all the radio weapons which American used. An example： Japanese Seto-ohashi is not reflected in the radar. Japan invented the stealth bomber machine. Because I cut the stealth bomber airplane by looking, You are reflected in the radar if a pulse converts the electric wave of the radar into the frequency of the visible range. And Japan can attack back country / various countries in the world of the earth if Japan uses the satellite toward it and fires an attack electric wave. Japan is possible in one satellite so that detection / attacks person / thing of the country of the bottom of the earth.

U.S.A. did only war and continued exterminating the fish and made the world poverty. The world must retaliate against U.S.A. Because the whale loses to the speed of the adult fish, the whale eats only child fishs. When the child of all fish appears from eggs, the child fishs rise to the surface of the sea for demands security. Whales are always on the surface of the sea to eat a child fish. Even if the whale eats all small fish, the whale is hungry. The whales exterminate the fishs.

That, in the world, only one's country should be good; do not be out of order. The world fights against U.S.A. and must retaliate for U.S.A. British / Germany must not become the American slave country.

The American nucleus disposal declaration is my stratagem to escape from this activity. It is the plan that U.S.A. deceives the world from this thing.

You will let this cooperate with the world with an email / fax / news. Though the world collapses in U.S.A., the world is disuse with a weapon.

U.S.A. generated the world University recession. For the purpose of U.S.A. taking an oil base; of the plan fought. An American company owns the oil base now. U.S.A. raised it by gas price, and U.S.A. generated world University recession. U.S.A. throw a foreign oil base up! If there is not the premeditated Iraqi War to anger in a radio weapon if it does not occur, the gas price is half. Because the American company where the salary is high owns the gasoline, the price is high.

Get back an oil base from the American company! If U.S.A. does not put back the oil base that U.S.A. got by robbery, the world must fight against U.S.A.
